THE WEEK'S BIG 3
Newer strains of far-right movements fueled by conspiracy theories, misogyny and anti-vaccine proponents contributed to a rise in killings by domestic extremists in the United States last year, according to a report released by ADL. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after a Jewish man was reportedly punched in the face Friday, marking the second weekend in a row the task force was investigating incidents against members of the Jewish community. Antisemitic fliers were once again found in neighborhoods from Austin, TX to Vancouver, WA over the weekend – the latest in a series of fliering events by white supremacist groups.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
